Thread-topic: BLI CB&Q F3 Announcement

BLI has announced that they intend to release CB&Q F3 ABBA set 116ABCD as an AB set and as additional A and B unit, hopefully by the end of the year. They are taking preorders now. The problem with their plan is that CB&Q road numbers 116-121 were the early Phase II versions of the F3 with raised fan shrouds and without Mars lights, and the BLI model has Mars lights. I brought this error to their attention today. They have three options, as I see it. They can ignore the prototype information and issue another foobie, they can change the road number to 160 or 161, or they can retool the shell without the Mars light. All three options have drawbacks. A foobie may reduce sales, Walthers P2K has already issued 160 ABC models, and retooling is expensive. I don’t know what they will do, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they elect to ignore the prototype error, so caveat emptor!
